"Autonomous Vehicle Safety Under Threat: Cybersecurity Concerns Emerge As the development of autonomous vehicles (AVs) accelerates, concerns are growing about the potential for malicious attacks on these complex systems. A key component of an AV's navigation system is its array of sensors, which work together to detect and recognize obstacles on the road. However, if a hacker were to infiltrate this system, the consequences could be catastrophic. With the increasing reliance on technology in our daily lives, the possibility of a cyber attack on an AV raises serious questions about the safety and security of the roads we travel on."
An array of sensors are needed for an AV’s system to navigate roadways and recognize obstacles. While errors might crop up naturally, a threat of malicious attacks exists that could affect an AV’s ...
